Dismissed
The appeal for a rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD was dismissed as a matter of law.
The deciding factor: The February 2019 AOJ decision that implemented the Board's grant of benefits was not appealable, and thus the January 2020 NOD could not be accepted as an appeal to that issue.
